Follow Park Madness on Facebook

Take time this March to fill out another kind of bracket and support your local state park. Join the DNR’s Park Madness on Facebook, and be in the running to win a free weekend of camping.

Beginning March 18, two state parks from each quadrant of the state will face off to determine which park will be Park Madness Champion. To vote for a park, watch the DNR’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/iowadnr on the dates below for Park Madness posts. Be sure to “like” the DNR’s page while you’re there to see future Park Madness posts.

On April 5, vote in the championship round – following the instructions on that night’s Facebook post – and while you’re there, also enter for a chance to win two free nights of camping at the “championship” park (winner chosen at random).
